Quinoa Sesame Stir Fry
Here's an idea for a vegan stir fry that is packed with protein and flavor. I became obsessed with bean sprouts and spinach this week - the way both can be crunchy and tender at the same time, not to mention loaded with vitamins. Some shitake mushrooms would have also been wonderful in this dish -- I will be sure to try that next time!
Serves: 2
Ready in: 10 minutes

You'll Need:
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 1/2 cups cooked quinoa
1 cup brean sprouts
2 cups fresh spinach
2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon chili garlic sauce
1 tablespoon sesame seeds.

Here's How:
1. In a large non-stick pan or wok, heat the oil to medium-high. Add the quinoa and sprouts, and cook for 1-2 minutes, until golden. Add the spinach, soy sauce and chili garlic sauce, and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Divide among two bowls and sprinkle over with sesame seeds.

Oh my gosh this looks so delish Luisana!!! I'm so trying this ASAP! I wonder if tofu would take on the flavor well? I may add a little chicken. Not so good with vegan. ;) xoxo mama Luisana

Looks tasty!!! I love sharing your recipes with my clients. Would you consider posting the macros with your recipes? It would be a big help for people trying to decide if the meal will fit into their diet. Right now, I just research the macros and provide it for them like below:
286 calories/38g carbs/12g fat/10g protein per serving

This was delicious! I stir fried the tofu for a bit before adding the vegetables, and I substituted broccoli for the mushrooms.

Awesome and easy recipe - thanks for sharing! I scrambled an egg in sesame oil chopped it into stips and put it on top of the stir fry then did a sprinkling of toasted sesame seeds. Absolutely delish.
